Update plugins list in Trac

[Don-vip]

We should update the plugins list in Trac:

• for all tickets referencing plugins that have been moved to core, affect them to core and delete these plugins from the list (remotecontrol, wms, validator...)
• add missing plugins manually, or with another cron job ?

Using plugin for core components is silly but I like a grouping in core. E.g. remotecontrol and validator are still valid information and it is very handy for quick search.

We do this manually. It does not make much sense to have it in the list, as long as there are not tickets and you still have the "open" group plugin. We also need to know the trac user name of the maintainer or at least a valid email address.

I understand, but I use very often "open core defects" report, and I miss this kind of tickets. We can use keywords for that, no ?

I guess we can. They are almost not used anyway.

stoecker's magic is behind the report page !

This request is not so easy to fulfill. Trac has no real support to get rid of old components. I already filled a ticket for this in the past.

A workaround would be to substitute "Plugin" with "Core" in the components name and list all tickets with "Core*" under "open core defects"

@stoecker
Is there anything that speaks against renaming the components and listing all tickets with "Core" and "Core *" under report/12 for the moment ?

[stoecker]

As said, Trac does not support this. I would need to dig into the database directly and filter and change all entries. This is possible, but I do not yet know, if I really want to do so.

Trac does not support this.

The wiki page ​http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracAdmin mentions this command for trac-admin:

component rename <name> <newname>

    Rename a component

Is it not what we are looking for ?

Thank you !
